Could we get 32 00:08:54,54 --> 00:08:59,71 a report from the staff before we get started Yes but even commission. 33 00:09:02,01 --> 00:09:05,63 As you mentioned this is AMENDMENT TO article and are you do you know regarding 34 00:09:05,64 --> 00:09:09,91 design requirements for new residential construction well background the mayor and 35 00:09:09,92 --> 00:09:15,69 the council have been working for the past six months to year look at the various 36 00:09:15,70 --> 00:09:22,19 boards in committees in the city. Trying to consolidate duties avoid duplication 37 00:09:22,20 --> 00:09:26,68 make them more efficient one of the committees looking at what that that's being 38 00:09:26,69 --> 00:09:27,45 looked at is 39 00:09:27,46 --> 00:09:32,60 a design review committee their duties are covered in the municipal code and they 40 00:09:32,61 --> 00:09:39,59 are basically tasked with reviewing all new homes in the city how are they 41 00:09:39,60 --> 00:09:41,46 haven't met in over seven years due to 42 00:09:41,47 --> 00:09:48,16 a couple circumstances which are going to so the direction from the mayor is to. 43 00:09:49,41 --> 00:09:55,98 Delete or remove the design view committee from the code take their duties and put 44 00:09:55,99 --> 00:09:59,28 them in the authority under that landmark commission or into the Community 45 00:09:59,29 --> 00:10:03,76 Development Department in terms of review and I'll kind of go through. How those 46 00:10:03,77 --> 00:10:09,98 are going to be. And transferred the current regulations and you have the marked up 47 00:10:10,25 --> 00:10:16,83 Exhibit one in your packet there showing Article seven point one four But it talks 48 00:10:16,84 --> 00:10:21,35 about the design. Review Committee in the review of new residential construction 49 00:10:21,82 --> 00:10:26,52 and applies to all new homes in the city and in terms of the new subdivision. 50 00:10:27,53 --> 00:10:30,84 Approved after one thousand nine hundred only applies to new homes that are in 51 00:10:30,85 --> 00:10:36,04 subdivisions that are beyond ninety percent built out so. All the subdivisions that 52 00:10:36,05 --> 00:10:40,19 we have that were approved after one thousand nine hundred either completed or the 53 00:10:40,20 --> 00:10:45,10 ones that aren't are not at the ninety percent yet so those new homes until they 54 00:10:45,11 --> 00:10:51,59 reach that mark are not being approved by the design review committee. And also 55 00:10:51,96 --> 00:10:57,54 any home that is in the one of the two historic districts in the city or designate 56 00:10:57,55 --> 00:11:02,04 a local landmark goes through the Landmark Commission first for 57 00:11:02,46 --> 00:11:07,00 a recommendation then on to the design review committee but as I noted this 58 00:11:07,01 --> 00:11:09,02 committee has met over seven years hasn't had 59 00:11:09,03 --> 00:11:14,67 a new home the meets the criteria where plies so and I think the membership all of 60 00:11:14,68 --> 00:11:19,05 them have been moved to other committees. The remaining members have been moved 61 00:11:19,06 --> 00:11:25,88 over to other committees in the city so that's the direction so we need to amend 62 00:11:25,89 --> 00:11:30,57 the you do yo to accommodate that and then also transfer the duties that they had 63 00:11:30,58 --> 00:11:37,04 to the landmark commission or community development department so the review 64 00:11:37,36 --> 00:11:43,20 of the current review standard in the you do yo here. 65 00:11:45,06 --> 00:11:49,44 Well it's first of all go over what duties are going to be transferred or how they 66 00:11:49,45 --> 00:11:54,01 are so any home in the historic district or local landmark will go to Landmark 67 00:11:54,02 --> 00:12:00,51 Commission for final determination. If they meet their criteria and the criteria is 68 00:12:00,52 --> 00:12:01,92 explained in Appendix seven 69 00:12:01,93 --> 00:12:08,11 a right behind the article there are seven in the code it's the design guidelines 70 00:12:08,12 --> 00:12:14,25 a checklist one clue to copy. It's a series of five guidelines and it's 71 00:12:14,26 --> 00:12:17,66 a scoring system and it's 72 00:12:17,70 --> 00:12:24,51 a the applicant has to meet in the applicant scores the we made it changes the 73 00:12:24,52 --> 00:12:28,14 staff the scores and then then we have the D R C in there before so we're changing 74 00:12:28,15 --> 00:12:33,95 that to keep the applicant the commune development director or designee and then 75 00:12:33,96 --> 00:12:37,67 the landmark commission so depending on where the house is will dictate who gets to 76 00:12:37,71 --> 00:12:42,64 review it but there's scores that are done for those five guidelines and they must 77 00:12:42,65 --> 00:12:47,55 meet again to seventy five percent or higher of the maximum number of points in 78 00:12:47,56 --> 00:12:52,58 order to be approved for them so there's no change in here in terms of the scoring 79 00:12:52,59 --> 00:12:57,88 or anything it's just who what body or the commune development director who gets to 80 00:12:57,89 --> 00:13:02,29 review it that's the change that but all the scoring remains the same. 81 00:13:06,57 --> 00:13:12,16 So if the home is not in historic district or Landmark but is somewhere else in the 82 00:13:12,17 --> 00:13:14,02 city and if it's in 83 00:13:14,03 --> 00:13:17,74 a subdivision that's gone be on the ninety percent build out whenever that comes up 84 00:13:18,33 --> 00:13:22,43 that new home the application for that will come to the commune development 85 00:13:22,44 --> 00:13:28,09 director. And they'll go through the process of the scoring. And make 86 00:13:28,10 --> 00:13:33,09 a decision if that should be approved or not in all these cases either Landmark 87 00:13:33,10 --> 00:13:37,13 Commission or the community Elma director doesn't need if there's 88 00:13:37,17 --> 00:13:44,08 a denial that the peel of the applicants can still appeal to the city council which 89 00:13:44,24 --> 00:13:46,88 is currently in the language are not changing that so if there's 90 00:13:46,89 --> 00:13:52,06 a denial they can still go to the council and appeal that to them in the eye of the 91 00:13:52,07 --> 00:13:52,93 final decision. 92 00:14:00,31 --> 00:14:03,16 And just a note once the commission never 93 00:14:03,17 --> 00:14:07,37 a sample motion at the end of the staff report. Once 94 00:14:07,38 --> 00:14:10,55 a commission make sure recommendation if you for that onto the council world 95 00:14:10,56 --> 00:14:14,70 prepare ordnances deleting a chapter forty eight which is in the code which is 96 00:14:14,71 --> 00:14:19,07 a design review committee well may also make amendments to Chapter forty four which 97 00:14:19,08 --> 00:14:24,26 is landmark commission to cover their new duties and also the amendment to the do 98 00:14:24,27 --> 00:14:27,68 you know which we're discussing tonight and have that one ordinance that would be 99 00:14:27,69 --> 00:14:34,06 approved at one time they all kind of affected So our recommendation is to approve 100 00:14:34,07 --> 00:14:37,98 this changes are in line with the direction from the mayor and council regarding 101 00:14:37,99 --> 00:14:43,76 this the design review committee really got their duties handled elsewhere so the 102 00:14:44,05 --> 00:14:45,65 the recommendations basically sample 103 00:14:45,66 --> 00:14:50,51 a motion that if you agree with you can pretty much go off of that motion of the 104 00:14:50,52 --> 00:14:56,91 back if you wish to thank you. Because this is 105 00:14:56,92 --> 00:15:01,70 a public area one to have to state if there's anyone in the public that would like 106 00:15:01,71 --> 00:15:06,81 to comment we would welcome their comments however I do note again we do not have 107 00:15:06,82 --> 00:15:12,33 anyone from the public here this evening so I will open this up to the 108 00:15:12,34 --> 00:15:16,93 commissioners for any questions or comments and I'd like to start actually with 109 00:15:16,94 --> 00:15:20,12 a question so that this is more of just 110 00:15:20,13 --> 00:15:25,24 a curiosity question because I really don't know much about the landmark commission 111 00:15:25,24 --> 00:15:27,19 . Do they have 112 00:15:27,20 --> 00:15:33,95 a regular meeting schedule or are they similar to how we are utilized 113 00:15:33,96 --> 00:15:40,13 where you know there's like they see what the applicants are in the name the name 114 00:15:40,14 --> 00:15:46,62 me there is. If their meeting schedule isn't very regular Will this possibly 115 00:15:46,85 --> 00:15:51,47 change the reading schedule or how how would that process kind of work the landmark 116 00:15:51,48 --> 00:15:55,76 commission is an ad hoc committee for the city and therefore they don't have 117 00:15:55,77 --> 00:16:00,54 a regularly scheduled meeting they meet as needed or on call so if we were to 118 00:16:00,55 --> 00:16:06,25 receive an application that required their review and recommendation we would 119 00:16:06,67 --> 00:16:07,13 schedule 120 00:16:07,14 --> 00:16:12,19 a meeting and follow the Open Meetings Act requirements and have that meeting 121 00:16:12,96 --> 00:16:19,93 review that item at that point thank you but also just 122 00:16:19,94 --> 00:16:24,70 no sorry Chairman of the you know the recommendation if you could add on there I do 123 00:16:24,71 --> 00:16:28,92 you know exhibit one which has all the marked up changes but also if you can add in 124 00:16:28,93 --> 00:16:34,17 the motion appendix seven A which has the change in the design guidelines have the 125 00:16:34,18 --> 00:16:40,79 committee development director or Landmark commissions I'm sure thank you thank you 126 00:16:43,02 --> 00:16:47,29 so did you all catch that whoever makes the motion make sure you include appendix 127 00:16:47,31 --> 00:16:53,11 seven and that's part of the items be revised. 128 00:16:56,14 --> 00:16:56,42 I have 129 00:16:56,43 --> 00:17:03,29 a question.

That's throughout the state and basically three types 193 00:22:46,59 --> 00:22:52,17 of locations retail stache MN truckstops and veteran and fraternal establishments. 194 00:22:54,12 --> 00:22:57,78 And I believe all those would have to sell but you're right liquor sales have to be 195 00:22:57,79 --> 00:23:01,22 associated with those. So the city did 196 00:23:01,92 --> 00:23:08,85 a lot discussion back then allowed to use in the city and as of November 197 00:23:09,44 --> 00:23:12,45 this past November there were eighteen video gaming establishments with 198 00:23:12,46 --> 00:23:19,33 a total of seventy six terminals throughout the city. So in the last few years the 199 00:23:19,34 --> 00:23:20,33 city has seen that quite 200 00:23:20,34 --> 00:23:25,86 a few large increase in those particular you've ones that. Ridgeley was set up 201 00:23:25,87 --> 00:23:29,83 where the city was interested in lowering these and. At the request 202 00:23:30,19 --> 00:23:36,74 a lot of the. Fraternal organizations or some of the restaurants to allow these as 203 00:23:36,75 --> 00:23:40,67 do help with this to get some additional revenue or income for that particular 204 00:23:40,68 --> 00:23:44,40 stamp of Schmidt they become excessive read to the principle you see the 205 00:23:44,41 --> 00:23:50,88 restaurants are. Her for turning organization and where the ordinance was written 206 00:23:50,89 --> 00:23:52,13 and we did seen 207 00:23:52,14 --> 00:23:56,75 a lot recently and it's kind of been throughout the state to where we've seen 208 00:23:57,41 --> 00:24:03,24 a video gaming establishment that are almost would say that they're become the 209 00:24:03,25 --> 00:24:04,75 principal use on the site 210 00:24:04,86 --> 00:24:09,70 a lot of the come in through have served food and would have to serve liquor but 211 00:24:09,71 --> 00:24:14,26 terms of the operation it's pretty much focused on the video gaming really rely 212 00:24:14,27 --> 00:24:18,96 a lot of the revenues through that and we've seen a lot of those recently 213 00:24:18,97 --> 00:24:24,20 a lot of Maher trying to get a couple examples the Suzy's and he's 214 00:24:24,28 --> 00:24:27,35 a lot of March chains. Opening up 215 00:24:27,36 --> 00:24:33,70 a lot of different locations where they do offer food limited menu items alcohol 216 00:24:34,02 --> 00:24:37,86 and the five video game machines and usually taken up but have 217 00:24:38,35 --> 00:24:42,14 a smaller tenets bases are not in free standing buildings that usually fifteen 218 00:24:42,15 --> 00:24:45,62 under square foot twelve hundred square foot ten it's bases in multi ten 219 00:24:45,63 --> 00:24:50,63 a commercial buildings was where they typically like to locate in higher commercial 220 00:24:50,64 --> 00:24:56,76 higher you know traffic areas throughout the city. The council had 221 00:24:56,77 --> 00:25:01,68 a couple of the lengthy discussions last summer. John presented 222 00:25:01,72 --> 00:25:06,70 a couple memos to them which included in your packet and the Commission or the 223 00:25:06,71 --> 00:25:08,60 council with those concerns wanted to take 224 00:25:08,61 --> 00:25:13,03 a look time to study the issue come up with some perhaps regulations that would 225 00:25:13,59 --> 00:25:17,84 deal with these uses are coming in videogaming would seem to be the principal use 226 00:25:18,22 --> 00:25:21,25 operating there so they did approve in September 227 00:25:21,26 --> 00:25:25,83 a six month moratorium on any additional video gaming licenses into the city 228 00:25:26,69 --> 00:25:31,57 expires on March thirteenth there was time to allow the city to do 229 00:25:31,86 --> 00:25:37,34 a study analysis. But also involve you know review by the planning and zoning 230 00:25:37,35 --> 00:25:38,24 commission on 231 00:25:38,78 --> 00:25:44,91 a few items related to Xining issues which we wanted to discuss. So this would be 232 00:25:44,92 --> 00:25:48,96 discussion to look for direction and the plan would be to from the direction come 233 00:25:48,97 --> 00:25:53,09 back. Read create some amendments publish 234 00:25:53,10 --> 00:25:56,72 a notice in the newspaper and come back on February fifteenth for 235 00:25:57,00 --> 00:25:59,61 a hearing public hearing in front of the commission and your meeting on the 236 00:25:59,62 --> 00:26:05,01 fifteenth of February and get or hopefully recommendation of the commission that 237 00:26:05,02 --> 00:26:11,01 will go on to the council for review and hopefully passage looking for by the time 238 00:26:11,02 --> 00:26:17,85 the the moratorium expires so we'd have the regulations in place. It's 239 00:26:17,86 --> 00:26:23,55 a moratorium expires kind of three focused areas I guess in terms of the amendments 240 00:26:23,56 --> 00:26:25,49 to the year Dio One is creating a new zone 241 00:26:25,50 --> 00:26:30,01 a classification definition for video gaming right now we don't have video gaming 242 00:26:30,02 --> 00:26:30,87 listed as 243 00:26:30,88 --> 00:26:35,76 a permitted or special use and there in the past they've been determined I guess 244 00:26:35,77 --> 00:26:42,33 under the bar tavern use as a principle use in a bar and Tavern is permitted in 245 00:26:42,34 --> 00:26:44,89 a couple districts the central C.B.D. 246 00:26:44,90 --> 00:26:49,35 District and their general commercial districts and their special use are limited 247 00:26:49,36 --> 00:26:51,96 commercial So that's the term that's been used that's 248 00:26:51,97 --> 00:26:56,91 a list in the ordinance for it's gone under the video gaming operation. 249 00:26:59,31 --> 00:27:02,91 Unless I guess they were part of the for Turner organization to go under that 250 00:27:03,12 --> 00:27:08,25 particular use. So we like to create a new different 251 00:27:08,29 --> 00:27:12,47 a definition for video gaming we don't have the specific language but will come up 252 00:27:12,48 --> 00:27:18,06 with something that would define that and we also may need to tweak or modify 253 00:27:18,07 --> 00:27:23,11 a little bit the definitions for the principal use in excess are used to make sure 254 00:27:23,12 --> 00:27:28,77 that these types of operations where the video gaming appears to be the principal 255 00:27:28,78 --> 00:27:33,39 operation there. Is defined and then they would become 256 00:27:33,92 --> 00:27:39,10 a he they are permitted to use or especially use they won't be accessory to some 257 00:27:39,11 --> 00:27:44,98 other operation so that's one thing will need to do the other is what zoning 258 00:27:44,99 --> 00:27:51,49 district should this new video gaming definition be permitted or special use as I 259 00:27:51,50 --> 00:27:55,95 noted the currently there under the bar there permit in the central business 260 00:27:55,96 --> 00:28:00,38 district or the in the general commercial district and kind of looking at this. 261 00:28:02,30 --> 00:28:07,74 From the Past discussions central business district we kind of feel that having 262 00:28:07,75 --> 00:28:08,84 video gaming as 263 00:28:08,85 --> 00:28:15,08 a permitted use words of principle yes and having it permitted probably 264 00:28:15,79 --> 00:28:19,13 we probably would not want to continue that. I have it as 265 00:28:19,14 --> 00:28:24,47 a special use instead of trying to protect the downtown in terms of retail 266 00:28:24,48 --> 00:28:30,15 operations uses that we want to see down there this would prohibit current 267 00:28:30,16 --> 00:28:35,82 restaurants like our Leary's which has video gaming or its accessory use to the 268 00:28:35,83 --> 00:28:41,24 main operation from continuing to do that or future ones this would be or the video 269 00:28:41,25 --> 00:28:41,73 gaming is 270 00:28:41,74 --> 00:28:45,58 a principal use not having that and central business district or having it is 271 00:28:45,59 --> 00:28:51,14 a special special use would probably be more appropriate but allowing it as 272 00:28:51,15 --> 00:28:55,16 a permitted use again in the general commercial and then 273 00:28:55,24 --> 00:29:00,62 a special use I guess continuing that in the limited commercial now for projects 274 00:29:00,63 --> 00:29:03,43 there is on plan development with the plan development it would depend on that 275 00:29:03,44 --> 00:29:08,60 particular ordinance. All the past ones won't have that language in there because 276 00:29:08,61 --> 00:29:14,06 we haven't had that used before so any new ones would have to. Be dependent on what 277 00:29:14,28 --> 00:29:18,00 the city would want to do that in that particular audience for that site or 278 00:29:19,02 --> 00:29:22,86 permitted special use or not depending on the location so. 279 00:29:26,55 --> 00:29:31,08 So in terms of where we'd want those that's kind of the direction permitted in the 280 00:29:32,06 --> 00:29:37,59 general commercial. Special use in the limited commercial. 281 00:29:39,75 --> 00:29:45,96 In the central business district probably either one of you especially use or not 282 00:29:46,03 --> 00:29:51,72 even listed there is certainly an option even you know not especially use in the 283 00:29:51,73 --> 00:29:56,91 central business district for naive and open that door is but we want to further I 284 00:29:56,92 --> 00:30:01,23 think the recommendation is to limit those in the central business district. 285 00:30:02,75 --> 00:30:07,07 Additional restrictions. From the discussions last summer there was 286 00:30:07,08 --> 00:30:13,24 a. Few things brought out and there's some really good thorough discussion in 287 00:30:13,68 --> 00:30:16,87 maps in the August seventeenth memo interview and chance to look through those 288 00:30:16,88 --> 00:30:22,77 showing the location of all the video gaming throughout the city in the minds of 289 00:30:23,05 --> 00:30:27,75 the principal uses seem to be congregated up on six more road in the main 290 00:30:27,76 --> 00:30:34,34 commercial area there where a lot of men come in lately. I think there's a was 291 00:30:34,35 --> 00:30:38,31 a lot of fifteen hundred foot area there was twenty three percent of all the video 292 00:30:38,32 --> 00:30:43,25 gaming. Businesses were in that stretch so that's where the and I think all those 293 00:30:43,26 --> 00:30:48,75 kind of came at the last year or two. So it's became evident that they're really 294 00:30:48,76 --> 00:30:54,90 concentrating and focusing on one particular area so I think it's fair to limit 295 00:30:55,37 --> 00:30:57,51 those and you can do that with like 296 00:30:57,52 --> 00:31:02,36 a distance separation requirement. Adding restriction that they can't be located 297 00:31:02,37 --> 00:31:04,59 within and this is 298 00:31:04,60 --> 00:31:09,06 a facility itself and for example two hundred fifty feet from another video gaming 299 00:31:09,07 --> 00:31:13,45 operation. If you want additional limitations you could do 300 00:31:13,46 --> 00:31:18,53 a separation regarding the. The property line of where of the building where the 301 00:31:19,26 --> 00:31:23,67 facility is at the building the property line that covers that building 302 00:31:23,87 --> 00:31:28,56 a setback. On the property line for example like 303 00:31:28,57 --> 00:31:32,13 a hundred feet so that would give make sure there's some separation between them 304 00:31:32,14 --> 00:31:32,95 where you're not having 305 00:31:32,96 --> 00:31:39,27 a strip center. You know made up of entirely these operations or you know quite 306 00:31:39,28 --> 00:31:44,03 a few of them out there they take up and tire one but avoid it make 307 00:31:44,04 --> 00:31:49,65 a little more separation between them. But still allow them in that most of here is 308 00:31:49,66 --> 00:31:51,25 general commercial district or has 309 00:31:51,26 --> 00:31:58,11 a plan developments and I'm so. So that's kind of the three areas 310 00:31:58,12 --> 00:32:04,10 focused on are looking for direction is the definition. Where they should be 311 00:32:04,11 --> 00:32:09,00 permitted or special use or not allowed and then any other restrictions regarding 312 00:32:09,01 --> 00:32:14,44 distance between them or if there's any other. Recommendations you haven't any 313 00:32:14,45 --> 00:32:19,72 other type of restrictions that may get the same result we're certainly open to 314 00:32:19,73 --> 00:32:26,64 that so so again no motion officially any. Comments will take questions 315 00:32:27,47 --> 00:32:34,34 either one of us so I definitely 316 00:32:34,35 --> 00:32:38,70 have to say that this was very eye opening for me to read I know you know you know 317 00:32:38,71 --> 00:32:42,20 that these are in the community but you don't really know where they are until you 318 00:32:42,21 --> 00:32:47,20 see the map and you see and you know but I think the eye opening piece for me was 319 00:32:47,50 --> 00:32:53,100 the ones that how they're classified whether an accessory or the the fact that 320 00:32:54,01 --> 00:33:00,72 they're considering the bar or I had no clue so any of them that 321 00:33:00,73 --> 00:33:07,36 are and this probably will go for us kind of with 322 00:33:07,37 --> 00:33:08,71 thinking this through 323 00:33:08,72 --> 00:33:13,56 a little bit any that are considered the liquor class is considered 324 00:33:13,57 --> 00:33:19,75 a bar currently then do they have to I would assume that they would have to observe 325 00:33:19,84 --> 00:33:26,30 Annie ordinances that bars would have to like I don't know what those ordinances 326 00:33:26,31 --> 00:33:31,67 are at the top of my head but let's say they can't be school or whatever I'm just 327 00:33:32,46 --> 00:33:37,46 justice for them to make an end up but trying to think of an example so today is 328 00:33:37,47 --> 00:33:42,65 that what they have to. Go by is what that ordinance for what 329 00:33:42,66 --> 00:33:47,97 a bar would have to go by currently yet they would have still have to make the 330 00:33:47,98 --> 00:33:51,36 whatever classification of liquor licenses that operation has 331 00:33:51,37 --> 00:33:54,34 a you would have to meet whatever there's 332 00:33:54,35 --> 00:33:59,33 a distance to schools or whatever setbacks hours of operation and whatever there is 333 00:33:59,81 --> 00:34:04,85 they have to meet that So do we need to kind of keep that in mind as we're thinking 334 00:34:04,86 --> 00:34:10,52 through. Any of us that we may need to consider 335 00:34:11,82 --> 00:34:18,07 adding that into the studio specific or is that that's when we'll handle that that 336 00:34:18,08 --> 00:34:22,30 separation language and the requirements are handled in the liquor code OK So 337 00:34:22,31 --> 00:34:23,88 anytime we get 338 00:34:24,07 --> 00:34:29,02 a liquor license application the city distributes that to all of the departments to 339 00:34:29,03 --> 00:34:33,58 review from there Barry various perspectives so that part of it gets reviewed as 340 00:34:33,59 --> 00:34:40,40 part of the liquor license review I guess the only reason it might it would 341 00:34:40,41 --> 00:34:44,80 need to be codify it in the code but the commission may want to understand where 342 00:34:44,81 --> 00:34:49,81 some of those features are so that if we're creating some separations or 343 00:34:49,82 --> 00:34:56,17 limitations that we're not overly burdening the system we're not overly regulating 344 00:34:56,18 --> 00:35:00,74 it so that right it's not allowed anywhere for I am well it's kind of what I do so 345 00:35:00,75 --> 00:35:07,05 we could we could have the map revised to show the location of any facilities 346 00:35:08,35 --> 00:35:12,26 that that that the liquor code may reference as being 347 00:35:12,27 --> 00:35:15,75 a location that you can't or you have restrictions in terms of the limits of the 348 00:35:15,76 --> 00:35:17,48 location for 349 00:35:17,52 --> 00:35:21,43 a liquor license and show where there's those are on the map so you have an idea. 350 00:35:23,94 --> 00:35:29,37 So didn't you had also mentioned your demeanor really quick statement about them 351 00:35:29,38 --> 00:35:30,65 being in the P.T.C. 352 00:35:32,15 --> 00:35:37,14 What was that piece and I think you know reason I am asking is because I am sorry 353 00:35:37,15 --> 00:35:40,87 to interrupt you the reason why I'm asking is because there is the one on Sycamore 354 00:35:40,88 --> 00:35:45,55 road right now that is it appears it's in a P.V.C. 355 00:35:46,30 --> 00:35:47,15 I think if it's in 356 00:35:47,16 --> 00:35:52,75 a plane development commercial the ordinance if it magine if it listed bar as 357 00:35:52,76 --> 00:35:58,04 a permitted use to come down I think they are we would categorize the video gaming 358 00:35:58,05 --> 00:36:02,34 would be attached to that would be allowed there OK And so but I think moving 359 00:36:02,35 --> 00:36:03,39 forward if we create 360 00:36:03,40 --> 00:36:09,44 a video gaming operation that would be. Something we've looked at to determine if 361 00:36:09,45 --> 00:36:13,26 that plan development do we want to have video gaming in there or not to respect 362 00:36:13,27 --> 00:36:20,01 for use of. Prohibited or something you know like we do with cases where the list 363 00:36:20,02 --> 00:36:25,22 of prohibited uses they are so I think the past any current ones. I think we've got 364 00:36:25,23 --> 00:36:29,08 the bar term tavern pretty for quite a while so magine 365 00:36:29,09 --> 00:36:31,59 a lot of May have that party in there as 366 00:36:31,60 --> 00:36:36,94 a permitted use or special use but it would depend on that site where you become 367 00:36:37,39 --> 00:36:41,56 one of the potential challenges I was thinking about this with the plan development 368 00:36:41,57 --> 00:36:47,26 if it lists the specific uses in Atlas bars for example and somebody comes forward 369 00:36:47,27 --> 00:36:52,01 with an application in that plan development if we adopt this new language that 370 00:36:52,02 --> 00:36:53,53 defines videogaming as 371 00:36:53,54 --> 00:36:58,11 a stand alone principle use that's not listed in those plan development agreements 372 00:36:58,12 --> 00:37:03,38 so I think I'm thinking this forward and I guess my interpretation would be that 373 00:37:03,39 --> 00:37:06,79 they would have to come back and amend that plan development in order to 374 00:37:06,80 --> 00:37:09,78 accommodate that I don't know whether there's 375 00:37:09,80 --> 00:37:14,36 a way for us to work with legal counsel to come up with language in the code now if 376 00:37:14,38 --> 00:37:20,19 the choice of the commission was. You know if it's allowed in the underlying zoning 377 00:37:20,20 --> 00:37:26,78 districts to supersede that restriction I'd have to ask our attorney about that but 378 00:37:26,78 --> 00:37:33,34 . There are other plan development ordinances that were written that don't have 379 00:37:33,86 --> 00:37:40,85 a specific. Use list uses listed within the ordinance so in those cases we do go to 380 00:37:40,86 --> 00:37:44,28 the underlying zoning districts so if you know we can do 381 00:37:44,29 --> 00:37:49,38 a little bit more work on that and then depending on what your thoughts are we. We 382 00:37:49,39 --> 00:37:52,81 can maybe create some language that would allow for those as we do have 383 00:37:52,82 --> 00:37:54,06 a lot of plan developments and. 384 00:38:07,01 --> 00:38:13,98 So I I read this this document and the My first reaction is just for the sake 385 00:38:13,99 --> 00:38:18,51 of an exercise and put it on the table it's actually to put my might libertarian 386 00:38:18,52 --> 00:38:22,97 hat on and I'm not saying that I'm one where the other but I put my libertarian hat 387 00:38:22,98 --> 00:38:27,36 on and I asked my question why are we regulating this why why don't we just let 388 00:38:27,37 --> 00:38:34,30 this proliferate in whatever way for fashion of ones and let the market decide what 389 00:38:34,31 --> 00:38:39,37 happens and of course there are arguments that are made here of why we're 390 00:38:39,38 --> 00:38:44,47 interested in vien and that's of course that's not the libertarian head anymore 391 00:38:44,48 --> 00:38:45,62 this that's also 392 00:38:46,39 --> 00:38:52,32 a community making decisions on whether we want to how we want it and those 393 00:38:52,33 --> 00:38:59,17 limitations what what are those limitations. As as I then entertain those first 394 00:38:59,18 --> 00:39:03,42 few questions other questions come to mind in one of them is you know what what 395 00:39:03,43 --> 00:39:08,06 would the conversation be we were talking about Pacman and misses back in the games 396 00:39:08,06 --> 00:39:13,25 . In this conversation would probably be different in that sense would be having 397 00:39:13,91 --> 00:39:17,11 some other conversation it wouldn't be necessarily this one we would in the cellar 398 00:39:17,12 --> 00:39:23,73 be talking about attaching this limitations or making them condition condition in 399 00:39:23,74 --> 00:39:29,79 them I'm sorry to to bars for example. So the analogy of course and it's no 400 00:39:29,80 --> 00:39:34,15 accident that we start thinking about how those little license work in thinking 401 00:39:34,16 --> 00:39:36,40 about that model. As 402 00:39:36,41 --> 00:39:42,60 a way to start defining what the restrictions on this is going to be my suspicion 403 00:39:42,61 --> 00:39:47,34 is that at the very existence of the conversation this started some months ago the 404 00:39:47,55 --> 00:39:48,32 very fact that we have 405 00:39:48,33 --> 00:39:52,39 a moratorium on this on this decisions in the we're having this discussion in the 406 00:39:52,40 --> 00:39:52,65 once 407 00:39:52,66 --> 00:39:56,05 a word are going to come up in the future is is because we want to put something 408 00:39:56,23 --> 00:40:02,23 around this we want to make sure we give ourselves the time to think about this in 409 00:40:02,24 --> 00:40:05,89 that context is seems clear to me that we're not going in the direction of do 410 00:40:05,90 --> 00:40:10,51 nothing that option doesn't seem that is going to materialize you know in all of 411 00:40:10,52 --> 00:40:16,34 this. And given that and that's my thought that we're not going to go in that 412 00:40:16,35 --> 00:40:22,19 direction I guess the best thing we can do is precisely participate in in what 413 00:40:22,20 --> 00:40:29,01 those limitations will be. I I know that I 414 00:40:29,02 --> 00:40:29,40 said 415 00:40:29,44 --> 00:40:33,91 a lot of things there that are more philosophical and anything else but I just wanted 416 00:40:33,92 --> 00:40:38,03 to make sure that at least it is on the table and that we recognize that again this 417 00:40:38,04 --> 00:40:43,13 is not about Miss back and this is about some of the type of video game in that 418 00:40:43,14 --> 00:40:47,93 actually highlights the need and I know that you just brought it up in in this in 419 00:40:47,94 --> 00:40:49,15 the introduction there is 420 00:40:49,16 --> 00:40:55,08 a need to define what this video game is what this video game terminals are. And 421 00:40:55,09 --> 00:40:57,49 again it's not a Mrs fact a machine is 422 00:40:57,50 --> 00:41:04,47 a different type of video game terminal. Having said all that and hopefully getting 423 00:41:04,52 --> 00:41:08,69 more definition on what this is I am looking forward to seen some more clear 424 00:41:08,70 --> 00:41:13,68 definition of what this video game game terminals are going to be. I generally 425 00:41:13,69 --> 00:41:19,72 speaking I am on board on the idea of attaching this video game regulations to for 426 00:41:19,73 --> 00:41:24,77 example bars it will be nice I concur with the idea that it will be nice to to see 427 00:41:24,78 --> 00:41:29,31 a map of where bars in the city of the Kalb are. In might not be 428 00:41:29,32 --> 00:41:34,39 a bad idea to think about options where you if it is possible where you limit the 429 00:41:34,40 --> 00:41:37,84 number of machines further so if I'm not mistaken you have 430 00:41:37,85 --> 00:41:40,85 a limitation of five currently it might not be 431 00:41:40,86 --> 00:41:43,14 a bad idea to limited lower if you have 432 00:41:43,15 --> 00:41:49,73 a really high number of bars that might balance things out. So those are some of 433 00:41:49,74 --> 00:41:54,00 the some of the things that occurred to me as I read this I realize I'm not saying 434 00:41:54,00 --> 00:41:58,30 . Things that are hundred percent original Some of those things are already here 435 00:41:58,57 --> 00:42:05,20 but I am if anything given my my first position my first reading on all this 436 00:42:06,90 --> 00:42:12,86 since the state allows for five video terminals we can diminish that ability is my 437 00:42:12,87 --> 00:42:19,52 understanding correct so we don't need five based on this. Up to 438 00:42:19,53 --> 00:42:25,08 five I mean. By they can have up to five but I'm guessing 439 00:42:25,09 --> 00:42:31,26 a local municipality can't limit to two that's going to say OK and just in case it 440 00:42:31,27 --> 00:42:37,52 wasn't clear the state requirements only allow video gaming machines for people who 441 00:42:37,53 --> 00:42:41,14 have liquor licenses so you can't just put them in 442 00:42:41,30 --> 00:42:47,49 a retail store anywhere so I think that's you know that's kind of how it started 443 00:42:47,50 --> 00:42:52,00 the way it did it started off as it's available to anybody who has 444 00:42:52,01 --> 00:42:55,10 a liquor license Well at that point people didn't have a liquor license to have 445 00:42:55,11 --> 00:43:00,72 a video gaming business because that didn't exist at the time so everybody came in 446 00:43:00,73 --> 00:43:02,52 who had a liquor license and if they wanted 447 00:43:02,80 --> 00:43:07,79 a way to raise money they they added between one and five machines it became pretty 448 00:43:07,80 --> 00:43:12,02 successful very fast and the people out there evaluating this business model said 449 00:43:12,03 --> 00:43:16,59 Hey all I have to do is get a liquor license from a community and I can open up 450 00:43:17,09 --> 00:43:23,81 a shop now some communities. Liquor license provisions don't allow you to have just 451 00:43:23,82 --> 00:43:29,12 a bar unless you have food so in those cases that communities have liquor licenses 452 00:43:29,13 --> 00:43:34,82 like that these small standalone twelve hundred square foot video gaming 453 00:43:34,83 --> 00:43:36,30 establishment weren't really 454 00:43:36,31 --> 00:43:40,59 a problem because they don't want to come in and set up the kitchen and go through 455 00:43:40,60 --> 00:43:45,73 all of the expense just to have video gaming machines so they started targeting the 456 00:43:45,74 --> 00:43:50,45 communities that allowed for liquor licenses that don't have kitchen requirements 457 00:43:50,83 --> 00:43:54,17 and that's where you know at the time it was coming in and all of 458 00:43:54,18 --> 00:43:59,58 a sudden why do we have ten twelve fifteen requests for these all within 459 00:43:59,59 --> 00:44:04,87 a really close. Location and that that's really why we got to where we were it 460 00:44:04,88 --> 00:44:06,47 wasn't because you know we have 461 00:44:06,48 --> 00:44:09,66 a lot of people on the council and in the community that believe very strongly in 462 00:44:09,67 --> 00:44:15,12 the open market but this was one of those animals that didn't seem to be reacting 463 00:44:15,43 --> 00:44:19,30 like a normal open market type of business so that's why we took 464 00:44:19,31 --> 00:44:25,83 a POS. And I think that's the piece that has been very educational to me on this is 465 00:44:26,04 --> 00:44:32,82 I had no idea the one I don't remember the name Susie's or Shelby's or something in 466 00:44:33,25 --> 00:44:38,57 those checking center area by Target or by only would have had 467 00:44:38,58 --> 00:44:43,24 a look I mean who knew right who knew you know and actually I probably half of 468 00:44:43,25 --> 00:44:46,90 these I mean most of those businesses will admit to you they don't even need the 469 00:44:46,91 --> 00:44:51,78 liquor license quite right they sell very little liquor in those looking you know 470 00:44:51,79 --> 00:44:56,18 for legal reasons on the range but then the other piece of it too it was very eye 471 00:44:56,19 --> 00:45:01,19 opening for me is the revenue stream here. Well you know here in our community that 472 00:45:01,39 --> 00:45:07,18 we're Shockey I mean it's awesome but that was shocking to me that that number was 473 00:45:07,77 --> 00:45:12,01 yeah I mean keep Are you referring to the numbers in the report yes those are those 474 00:45:12,02 --> 00:45:19,02 are numbers are numbers spent So those are the money's being gambled those 475 00:45:19,03 --> 00:45:23,79 aren't the revenues so there's money's being gambled so and I think there's been 476 00:45:23,80 --> 00:45:26,92 a money grab Hill and that still it's still 477 00:45:26,93 --> 00:45:30,95 a large number and yeah you know it not that it should play into your consideration 478 00:45:30,96 --> 00:45:34,62 but I can I can give you an idea of what those numbers are because I know the 479 00:45:34,63 --> 00:45:37,92 Council has asked for those as well and I think that's always kind of the elephant 480 00:45:37,93 --> 00:45:40,17 in the room with these kinds of things is that 481 00:45:40,51 --> 00:45:44,72 a community that and all of us all communities are experiencing that you don't know 482 00:45:44,73 --> 00:45:49,78 what's happening in Springfield right now and you don't know how even if it's slow 483 00:45:49,82 --> 00:45:54,33 the money starts to flow again that could take decades to get back up to the point 484 00:45:54,34 --> 00:45:55,72 where it is and this is 485 00:45:55,73 --> 00:46:01,93 a sure thing you know it's just like casinos you know people at first it want 486 00:46:01,94 --> 00:46:06,91 casinos municipalities and huge debates about casinos but boy you start getting in 487 00:46:06,92 --> 00:46:08,30 a couple million dollars 488 00:46:08,34 --> 00:46:15,01 a year for road projects and things like that looks pretty attractive and. The 489 00:46:15,02 --> 00:46:20,89 gambling establishments whether small or large they really you know like you said 490 00:46:21,54 --> 00:46:23,95 the bar they look at license issue that that's 491 00:46:23,96 --> 00:46:27,59 a no brainer for them that's not their focus and you know they put in 492 00:46:27,60 --> 00:46:31,28 a little investment they're going to triple you know that 493 00:46:31,29 --> 00:46:34,58 a lot of money going very easily and you know one of the first couple of days 494 00:46:34,89 --> 00:46:40,60 that's gone before but I guess my concern and I have two men I've never been and we 495 00:46:40,66 --> 00:46:46,60 have these things and I'm giving this background and giving what little I know 496 00:46:46,61 --> 00:46:50,29 about them I'm assuming that. There's And there's not 497 00:46:50,30 --> 00:46:56,41 a whole lot of interior investment in these properties when they they start to. And 498 00:46:56,42 --> 00:47:02,43 they go into if I'm wrong have you think it depends on the. Actual establishment 499 00:47:02,44 --> 00:47:06,72 Susie's is nice inside with it's right next to the radio station so we watched him 500 00:47:06,93 --> 00:47:08,42 build it but they didn't do 501 00:47:08,43 --> 00:47:12,59 a lot you're going to Shelby's and there's partitions and more architecture inside 502 00:47:12,60 --> 00:47:17,32 so I think it just depends on the size of the chain that's operating in both places 503 00:47:17,33 --> 00:47:21,88 I think this is her twelfth or thirteenth location in the state and Shelby's is 504 00:47:21,89 --> 00:47:25,37 a chain along with Stella's supply chains are trying to make it very inviting to 505 00:47:25,38 --> 00:47:27,04 you know women there's 506 00:47:27,05 --> 00:47:30,97 a big dinner today where I think it's very very hard yeah people don't like to go 507 00:47:30,98 --> 00:47:35,31 on the big casinos with all the noise something very inviting you know come in it 508 00:47:35,32 --> 00:47:39,25 they're usually the back and not up front and you come in and there's tables and. 509 00:47:40,36 --> 00:47:44,46 Yes little area where you know never drank or limited menu items so 510 00:47:44,69 --> 00:47:48,74 a lot of them have the same kind of model almost in terms of way out I guess one of 511 00:47:48,75 --> 00:47:55,34 my biggest my biggest concern. Is not the existence of these things but more that 512 00:47:55,58 --> 00:47:59,51 some of those other issues that are brought up like location I really 513 00:47:59,90 --> 00:48:05,09 a personally would not like to see political ration of these in the central 514 00:48:05,10 --> 00:48:10,73 business district. Not only because not really so much as they use but really it's 515 00:48:11,01 --> 00:48:12,97 you know they're limiting themselves to 516 00:48:12,98 --> 00:48:19,73 a very small square footage. That really doesn't fit in most circumstances with the 517 00:48:19,74 --> 00:48:23,16 flavor that you're trying to establish in the central business district 518 00:48:23,49 --> 00:48:29,72 particularly an older one that is trying to recapture some of that that history and 519 00:48:29,73 --> 00:48:35,46 I think you know that's what the Countess is attempting to do so I would have 520 00:48:36,37 --> 00:48:42,46 a preference at these were not particularly as a principal use be allowed and 521 00:48:42,50 --> 00:48:48,23 a central business district that being sad I would I would not I would have to 522 00:48:48,24 --> 00:48:52,43 think about it you know whether or not and I don't know if you're suggesting to 523 00:48:52,72 --> 00:48:59,65 even limitations or an accessory so-called accessory is so if it wasn't like an 524 00:48:59,66 --> 00:49:03,75 existing bar or a bar that the Prince it was going to be a restaurant and 525 00:49:03,76 --> 00:49:08,37 a bar that was going to be the principal use that we would still be looking 526 00:49:08,38 --> 00:49:13,94 favorably upon them having the five term up to five terminals there yeah we don't 527 00:49:13,95 --> 00:49:17,99 tend to change it if they are the accessories to still allow those like 528 00:49:18,00 --> 00:49:22,24 a Leary's was an example and that would be fine I would say like that I would just 529 00:49:22,25 --> 00:49:28,17 really have a you know I have real doubts about you know. Having that as 530 00:49:28,18 --> 00:49:29,10 a principal use in 531 00:49:29,11 --> 00:49:35,70 a central business district and as far as. Elsewhere in the community 532 00:49:36,08 --> 00:49:37,37 you know I in 533 00:49:37,38 --> 00:49:43,62 a commercial area. If you were along Sycamore all the time and you know when all 534 00:49:43,63 --> 00:49:48,20 signs start to pop up and you start to see those little little businesses I mean 535 00:49:48,21 --> 00:49:52,14 one of the first things and honestly one of the first things I thought and maybe 536 00:49:52,15 --> 00:49:54,63 just given my background is oh my gosh are we going to have 537 00:49:54,64 --> 00:50:01,33 a strip mall of nothing but these little video gaming places you know and then it's 538 00:50:01,34 --> 00:50:02,64 that also would be kind of 539 00:50:02,65 --> 00:50:05,94 a tragedy because that's that again is setting that's saying 540 00:50:05,95 --> 00:50:11,52 a tone for that particular commercial area. You know I don't know spattered 541 00:50:11,53 --> 00:50:14,19 throughout that honestly isn't 542 00:50:14,74 --> 00:50:21,24 a huge concern of mine but if we get the if they become so lucrative and so you 543 00:50:21,25 --> 00:50:21,74 know such 544 00:50:21,75 --> 00:50:26,49 a valuable operation to the to these folks that they're going to go they're going 545 00:50:26,50 --> 00:50:30,79 to cluster just like fast food restaurants and they're going to be there now 546 00:50:30,80 --> 00:50:35,30 stacked up right beside each other so control over that is something that I would 547 00:50:35,31 --> 00:50:40,59 like to personally I would like to. Kind of feel out and see what the possibilities 548 00:50:40,61 --> 00:50:45,64 are there whether it's you know one you know so many persone an area or within so 549 00:50:45,65 --> 00:50:50,90 many feet of each other are you know whatever that is that something I personally 550 00:50:50,90 --> 00:50:57,02 like to see explored and good in talking with Shelby's people early on when they 551 00:50:57,03 --> 00:50:58,75 first opened because they still owes 552 00:50:58,97 --> 00:51:02,16 a lot of times they'll put Shelby's at one end and still is at the other end of the 553 00:51:02,17 --> 00:51:06,31 strip mall because there are different schemes and different approaches and people 554 00:51:06,32 --> 00:51:09,91 go to one if they didn't do well they'll go on down to the other or they did well 555 00:51:09,92 --> 00:51:13,38 so the other going to go down here and who didn't do well there that is kind of 556 00:51:13,39 --> 00:51:16,76 overkill if you know and it's what you know it's what Las Vegas was built on you 557 00:51:16,77 --> 00:51:20,18 just start you know starting when in the strip and you go all the way the other 558 00:51:20,22 --> 00:51:26,35 fire and I and it you know if they were beautiful and begun and you know that maybe 559 00:51:26,36 --> 00:51:31,29 that would be something right now Africa cow maybe but but but that was that's what 560 00:51:31,30 --> 00:51:35,31 would happen is that you you know you there we have to control that from have 561 00:51:35,44 --> 00:51:37,78 coming past and that's again that would be 562 00:51:37,79 --> 00:51:43,59 a concern. So with those concerns you know the. 563 00:51:45,03 --> 00:51:49,50 There are the three on Sycamore road that are pending that are right there in the 564 00:51:49,51 --> 00:51:56,21 same spot as. I believe that's part of probably mercury that 565 00:51:56,22 --> 00:52:02,79 strip there are there certain so to speak so with those 566 00:52:02,81 --> 00:52:09,78 repairs being in that same approximate area are those pending waiting 567 00:52:09,79 --> 00:52:13,69 for the outcome of why what might happen with the you do you know for 568 00:52:13,70 --> 00:52:19,08 a good question so these reports were prepared back before the moratorium was 569 00:52:19,09 --> 00:52:22,71 issued so those were pending at the time the council was reviewing the first time 570 00:52:23,01 --> 00:52:27,73 and have since gone on and been approved OK I think we have at least one of them 571 00:52:27,74 --> 00:52:33,40 who's not actually been constructed yet they've run into some issues with that so 572 00:52:33,74 --> 00:52:39,85 anything you see on here now should be assumed to be in existence or can legally 573 00:52:39,90 --> 00:52:46,60 become into existence and. The only relevance to moving forward might be that if we 574 00:52:46,61 --> 00:52:47,30 create 575 00:52:47,31 --> 00:52:53,59 a separation restriction then these don't comply to some or all of these that are 576 00:52:53,60 --> 00:52:59,27 too close to each other might become non-conforming that doesn't effect them now 577 00:52:59,28 --> 00:53:03,05 because we have non-conforming rights that would allow them to continue to do that 578 00:53:03,06 --> 00:53:07,95 as long as they meet the non-performing requirements but if they changed ownership 579 00:53:07,96 --> 00:53:11,39 or burned down or something happened then they could lose that non-conforming right 580 00:53:11,95 --> 00:53:16,87 unless that's an issue and you're wanting addressed that we could address that in 581 00:53:16,88 --> 00:53:21,77 the code revisions as well OK so if there's if there is a desire to create 582 00:53:21,78 --> 00:53:25,45 a new language that would not allow more than one in 583 00:53:25,46 --> 00:53:30,84 a given continuous strip building or create some separation between the actual 584 00:53:30,85 --> 00:53:35,46 business or the property lines of the business we would go through and identify 585 00:53:35,47 --> 00:53:37,40 which ones would become non-conforming as 586 00:53:37,41 --> 00:53:43,80 a result of that action so that you. As we have this 587 00:53:43,81 --> 00:53:48,28 conversation one of the questions that I have in my mind and I'd throw it out there 588 00:53:48,29 --> 00:53:50,40 for the sake of conversation is to do we have 589 00:53:50,41 --> 00:53:55,67 a reference has anything like this happen in the past where we have this 590 00:53:55,68 --> 00:54:00,43 proliferation of businesses where initial capital investment is for up at least 591 00:54:00,44 --> 00:54:01,57 small and you could have 592 00:54:01,58 --> 00:54:07,30 a rep the Lehigh turnaround of this stablish men and or can we build 593 00:54:07,31 --> 00:54:12,76 a map of the city with some other kind of stylish when the say restaurants and we 594 00:54:12,80 --> 00:54:16,59 going to find a glum aeration of restaurants and I'm using That's 595 00:54:16,60 --> 00:54:22,11 a nice as an example where existing restaurants may not you know let's say that 596 00:54:22,12 --> 00:54:26,94 a given restaurant is in the middle of Lincoln Highway in that particular owner's 597 00:54:26,95 --> 00:54:32,33 likely you know kind of saturate in this area is there anything that the that the 598 00:54:32,34 --> 00:54:37,22 city can do to prevent more restaurants in that spot and I'm doing this as an 599 00:54:37,23 --> 00:54:40,68 exercise in trying to see whether there's a reference always does that much of 600 00:54:40,69 --> 00:54:45,29 a different animal that that is kind of difficult to get our head around aside from 601 00:54:45,30 --> 00:54:49,73 simply putting restrictions and that's it I mean what other potential uses to put 602 00:54:50,60 --> 00:54:56,58 restrictions on or. So what is the obvious is there an obvious area out there where 603 00:54:56,59 --> 00:55:02,84 we put restrictions on currently for video gaming that it's not video game just yet 604 00:55:02,85 --> 00:55:09,78 because that's sure something I guess I don't think we have all the bars. And 605 00:55:09,80 --> 00:55:14,77 you know I can. You know I can go through 606 00:55:14,78 --> 00:55:20,52 a list of. Those uses you know that always come up that ordinances regulate in 607 00:55:20,53 --> 00:55:26,88 different ways I can't think of any. Into Kalb certainly that talk about regulating 608 00:55:27,35 --> 00:55:33,41 how close they are to each other I worked in another community. And it's the only 609 00:55:33,42 --> 00:55:36,07 other thing that's similar to what you're talking about where they had 610 00:55:36,08 --> 00:55:42,99 a proliferation of businesses that were catering to beauty supply stores and it 611 00:55:43,00 --> 00:55:43,26 was on 612 00:55:43,27 --> 00:55:49,55 a Roosevelt Road and they had the old downtown type buildings you know one or two 613 00:55:49,56 --> 00:55:54,53 story buildings built up close to the road. A lot of vacancies in. 614 00:55:56,54 --> 00:56:02,32 Places would come in pretty large here places and they have beauty supply and maybe 615 00:56:02,33 --> 00:56:02,58 sell 616 00:56:02,59 --> 00:56:09,13 a few chairs to people and every you know multiple ones in each block and more than 617 00:56:09,14 --> 00:56:14,40 one in every block so in that particular case that community chose to implement 618 00:56:14,88 --> 00:56:21,57 a minimum separation between those uses. That's the only thing I can think of but 619 00:56:21,58 --> 00:56:25,89 it was unique to that to that particular community and I can't think of anything 620 00:56:26,74 --> 00:56:31,20 like video gaming that's universally having this effect on many communities 621 00:56:31,21 --> 00:56:34,35 throughout the state and different communities are dealing with that differently 622 00:56:34,36 --> 00:56:38,67 either through the zoning or through their liquor codes but most people have the 623 00:56:38,68 --> 00:56:44,96 same concern about how do we limit. How do we limit the ability of these 624 00:56:44,97 --> 00:56:50,41 establishment friends taking up an entire strip center if it was vacant or on the 625 00:56:50,42 --> 00:56:54,34 contrary you know we have a vacant lot what if somebody wanted to build 626 00:56:54,35 --> 00:56:59,69 a brand new twenty thousand square foot facility and line up fifteen video gaming 627 00:56:59,70 --> 00:57:02,67 establishment seven and have a big parking lot and you'd have 628 00:57:02,68 --> 00:57:06,06 a little mini Vegas right there. And that would be 629 00:57:06,07 --> 00:57:08,79 a whole different animal because it would be you know 630 00:57:08,80 --> 00:57:14,28 a physical attacks and area that you have to worry about who's going there whatever 631 00:57:14,32 --> 00:57:20,06 other policing issues usually go with this is just taking a quick look at the U.T. 632 00:57:20,07 --> 00:57:21,04 Oh we do there is 633 00:57:21,05 --> 00:57:27,56 a limitation on retail sale tobacco or for retail tobacco stores as 634 00:57:27,57 --> 00:57:31,29 defined which is basically predominantly they're selling tobacco there is 635 00:57:31,30 --> 00:57:38,21 a. Separation two hundred feet between the two between the retail tobacco 636 00:57:38,22 --> 00:57:43,67 store another retail tobacco store so that's an example Yeah so there's 637 00:57:43,68 --> 00:57:46,64 a lot of separation for distance to 638 00:57:46,68 --> 00:57:52,12 a certain uses to other types of uses like residential medical cannabis adult uses 639 00:57:52,13 --> 00:57:57,02 or separation to residential or that's quite of the problem there but just 640 00:57:57,03 --> 00:58:02,09 a quick look there's tobacco stores is does have separation between those two uses 641 00:58:02,22 --> 00:58:03,32 to that define that as 642 00:58:03,33 --> 00:58:08,38 a principal use it this is retail tobacco stores as defined and it's those are 643 00:58:08,39 --> 00:58:13,33 defined as thirty percent or more of its gross revenue from the sale to back. 644 00:58:15,31 --> 00:58:17,84 So there really some time in the past to tell that 645 00:58:17,85 --> 00:58:22,21 a number has been an issue and that's the best stores you know I think you're 646 00:58:22,22 --> 00:58:22,91 probably 647 00:58:22,92 --> 00:58:28,41 a long held crust I think you know I think. That is that is very useful to have the 648 00:58:28,42 --> 00:58:31,98 president both in the previous example and from 649 00:58:31,99 --> 00:58:36,31 a previous community and the in the cow because it I mean as long as we can 650 00:58:36,73 --> 00:58:42,33 identify significant differences between for example tobacco and video gaming then 651 00:58:42,37 --> 00:58:47,32 you can think about one of the other very similarly kind of establishes the 652 00:58:47,36 --> 00:58:54,19 framework to think and eventually come up with ordinances to regulate it. And that 653 00:58:54,20 --> 00:58:55,47 says again being 654 00:58:55,48 --> 00:58:59,40 a new thing you know in my head in that sense I really don't see the significant 655 00:58:59,41 --> 00:59:03,92 difference between one and the other I mean whatever regulation similar regulations 656 00:59:03,93 --> 00:59:08,19 we have for debacle I don't see why retail tobacco sales I don't see why we cannot 657 00:59:08,20 --> 00:59:13,04 put something similar for the case of me again terminals it might be interesting to 658 00:59:13,05 --> 00:59:17,31 see if we can I mean is anybody familiar with one that might have come to that 659 00:59:18,78 --> 00:59:23,01 before me recall any you might be interesting to see if there's an ordinance that 660 00:59:23,02 --> 00:59:28,35 was created you know fifteen twenty years ago and what it backs in that it's 661 00:59:28,36 --> 00:59:33,22 a killer case night and then they chose three hundred two hundred two hundred feet 662 00:59:33,69 --> 00:59:36,18 so you know it might be something that we want to take 663 00:59:36,19 --> 00:59:39,48 a look at and see why did they choose Why did they do it and why did they choose 664 00:59:39,49 --> 00:59:45,46 two hundred feet it probably was a popular thing a certain time maybe next to 665 00:59:45,47 --> 00:59:51,34 a liquor store or you know separate but but some are. 666 00:59:53,48 --> 00:59:58,66 So if we were to consider putting. You know I found 667 00:59:58,67 --> 01:00:04,81 a resort to speak she said that that the boundary generally is based on 668 01:00:06,04 --> 01:00:12,51 the store the property lights correct. I've seen those kind of things defined both 669 01:00:12,52 --> 01:00:18,50 ways either from the property line or from the extent of the store limits so you 670 01:00:18,51 --> 01:00:23,03 could I'm going to go from the front door to the next front door you could you 671 01:00:23,04 --> 01:00:25,32 could go to the property lines it's usually 672 01:00:25,33 --> 01:00:29,73 a little easier to go to the property lines and believe me there will be some 673 01:00:29,91 --> 01:00:34,93 really long language that suggests how that's measured because we get into that 674 01:00:34,94 --> 01:00:40,43 with people because I'm going to strip mall but the strip center let's say out on 675 01:00:40,67 --> 01:00:45,56 Bethany and and Sycamore road you know you've got story after story after story 676 01:00:45,57 --> 01:00:52,54 there's no break in. Property right so you know the other the other way to do it 677 01:00:52,55 --> 01:00:56,85 is not to use distances at all you could just say you can have or 678 01:00:56,86 --> 01:01:00,76 a combination you can't have more than one or two or whatever you determine or if 679 01:01:00,95 --> 01:01:06,16 ever percentage you can have more than ten percent of any one building can have. 680 01:01:07,54 --> 01:01:12,92 Can be used for this use so we could define it if we kind of know what your end 681 01:01:12,93 --> 01:01:14,17 game is we can take 682 01:01:14,18 --> 01:01:18,37 a look and try to figure out the best way to achieve that either through distance 683 01:01:19,23 --> 01:01:21,57 percentages building restrictions 684 01:01:31,82 --> 01:01:35,79 I don't have any numbers in mind but I agree with you on the. 685 01:01:38,98 --> 01:01:45,03 The downtown area and kind of keep it in that reined in 686 01:01:45,04 --> 01:01:47,100 a little more I know we've as 687 01:01:48,01 --> 01:01:54,30 a community you guys have have really worked hard to get businesses in the downtown 688 01:01:54,31 --> 01:01:59,20 area. Even though that would be 689 01:01:59,25 --> 01:02:05,89 a really great revenue source I think keeping that retail more of the 690 01:02:05,90 --> 01:02:11,21 retail aspect of the downtown area seems to be 691 01:02:11,22 --> 01:02:15,66 a lot more appealing to attract people into her community not that this wouldn't be 692 01:02:15,66 --> 01:02:22,47 appealing to some people but I you know I agree with trained. Keep that reined in 693 01:02:22,79 --> 01:02:29,77 that speak it makes me know you bring up the issue 694 01:02:29,78 --> 01:02:34,00 of revenue which is something we never make our decisions based on by you're right 695 01:02:34,01 --> 01:02:40,96 it's very. You know the there's the basic philosophy of how there are what why 696 01:02:40,97 --> 01:02:44,66 do you tax something and then there is either you tax to get rid of something or 697 01:02:44,67 --> 01:02:49,56 you tax to get some revenue stream to do the things the government needs to do and 698 01:02:49,57 --> 01:02:53,19 this is a this is a situation where you tax in order to get rid of it in 699 01:02:53,20 --> 01:02:58,16 a way you tax through the regulations we're not talking about money we're talking 700 01:02:58,17 --> 01:03:01,39 about limitations on what you can do and that's actually what we're doing here 701 01:03:01,40 --> 01:03:06,96 we're we're thinking about what what how can you tax it how can you regulated such 702 01:03:06,97 --> 01:03:13,40 that you get no more than what you want and you know 703 01:03:14,22 --> 01:03:19,74 it I don't think this is the case and here but But even even good complete read of 704 01:03:19,78 --> 01:03:24,75 but I don't think that's to our case in particular we just want to put limits to it 705 01:03:25,05 --> 01:03:30,88 what there was saying was was I think right on I think I think that's going to find 706 01:03:30,94 --> 01:03:37,43 a good echo around the community if we had many inquiries from other establishments 707 01:03:37,44 --> 01:03:44,07 during the moratorium that you might know of other standalone or either or 708 01:03:44,86 --> 01:03:48,09 primarily the standalone So I think because that would be more of the issue the 709 01:03:48,10 --> 01:03:52,76 only request that we got was for one that was over in the strip center next to Sean 710 01:03:52,77 --> 01:03:57,65 Knox and some of you commissioners and I recall that that plan development 711 01:03:57,66 --> 01:04:04,65 agreements restricted bars or liquor licenses so it wasn't so much I think 712 01:04:04,66 --> 01:04:08,50 he had started talking to Derek about what would be required this is before all 713 01:04:08,51 --> 01:04:13,33 this happened what would be required to amend that restriction so that he could do 714 01:04:13,34 --> 01:04:17,18 the video game and then. He kind of went away for 715 01:04:17,19 --> 01:04:20,33 a while was working on some other things and when he came back the moratorium was 716 01:04:20,34 --> 01:04:27,14 in effect so I think he had hoped to try and move forward with that. And I believe 717 01:04:27,15 --> 01:04:31,82 Derek cautioned him because my understanding is that was pretty controversial at 718 01:04:31,83 --> 01:04:35,80 the time that project was approved and I remember even worse knocks getting 719 01:04:35,81 --> 01:04:39,31 a worker license to leave was there were so it was 720 01:04:39,32 --> 01:04:43,46 a big issue to some but other than that one I don't think I don't think we've had 721 01:04:43,47 --> 01:04:49,79 any of their. And you know OK there was an 722 01:04:50,44 --> 01:04:51,18 organisation 723 01:04:51,19 --> 01:04:55,87 a fraternal organization that asked if they could move their facility and keep 724 01:04:55,88 --> 01:05:02,32 their machines and they determine through legal legal I got involved and said No 725 01:05:02,33 --> 01:05:06,04 you would not be able to during the mower moratorium to move your machines and your 726 01:05:06,05 --> 01:05:12,89 machines are connected to that location. I'm just curious as 727 01:05:12,90 --> 01:05:17,99 to are we reaching Are we nearing the saturation point from the business is 728 01:05:18,00 --> 01:05:21,74 perspective and how much of an issue will it be down the road I'm just curious 729 01:05:21,78 --> 01:05:27,01 because there are so many it's like at some point does the the industry itself 730 01:05:27,02 --> 01:05:33,10 decide there's enough Yeah I wish I knew I was I could say how many or if there 731 01:05:33,11 --> 01:05:38,78 were any people that stopped calling us because they knew more as far as you know I 732 01:05:38,79 --> 01:05:42,01 don't know that to be the fact I do know that in 733 01:05:42,02 --> 01:05:45,95 a few months that when I first got here you know they said they just started 734 01:05:45,96 --> 01:05:50,67 printing men and Alice like what's happening and that's why we had the really quick 735 01:05:50,67 --> 01:05:56,40 . Salvation of these memos and the council got involved and they said please do 736 01:05:56,41 --> 01:06:00,06 some more research and that's when the moratorium came about is because we felt 737 01:06:00,07 --> 01:06:04,05 like if we didn't do something that little section of Amar road was going to 738 01:06:04,06 --> 01:06:09,13 continue to have many more applications well and the other thing is we're talking 739 01:06:09,14 --> 01:06:13,17 about Dekalb you go across into Sycamore which is still in that same stretch and 740 01:06:13,18 --> 01:06:17,03 there's one or two there already direction which is not in ours but it's still 741 01:06:17,04 --> 01:06:21,27 within a close distance right that's a good point it's 742 01:06:21,31 --> 01:06:24,64 a sycamore considering anything similar to that I was going to ask the same thing 743 01:06:25,29 --> 01:06:30,36 we can find out now that would be in the interesting our next report and may be. 744 01:06:31,63 --> 01:06:32,80 You know that was Sycamore bring to 745 01:06:32,81 --> 01:06:38,68 a close may be what about even like Shell or maple park 746 01:06:41,70 --> 01:06:42,76 we will do 747 01:06:42,78 --> 01:06:46,83 a little investigating and bring that to our report the next time we cynical but my 748 01:06:46,84 --> 01:06:51,09 guess would be that they all know when the moratorium is going to be lifted and 749 01:06:51,10 --> 01:06:54,39 what that you may have before I don't think you'll see us 750 01:06:54,40 --> 01:07:01,06 a lot of Yeah well no really quickly Yeah. I do remember we had 751 01:07:01,56 --> 01:07:03,67 something a couple months ago and 752 01:07:03,68 --> 01:07:08,24 a citizen during the service and during the public hearing one of the systems made 753 01:07:08,25 --> 01:07:14,48 a comment about. You know these popping up all over the place and. A little concern 754 01:07:14,49 --> 01:07:21,31 about that so I think once we do get this ironed out. You need to be interesting to 755 01:07:21,32 --> 01:07:27,44 see how much public input comes out of the I mean I hope if there's concern that 756 01:07:27,50 --> 01:07:32,85 the public will come in and as a as a tax amendment you know we'll do 757 01:07:32,86 --> 01:07:38,47 a notice in the newspaper but there's not really. You know we don't notify enjoy 758 01:07:38,48 --> 01:07:41,59 robbery Eleanor's in this case because it's because there isn't 759 01:07:41,60 --> 01:07:48,45 a proper need yeah there isn't so. You know so getting the word out is going to be 760 01:07:48,88 --> 01:07:52,82 you know about as much as you folks talking to your neighbors and letting people 761 01:07:52,83 --> 01:07:56,25 know that we're discussing it again and people following the agendas and the 762 01:07:56,27 --> 01:08:00,20 notices in the newspaper are. Hopefully it's not the kind of 763 01:08:00,20 --> 01:08:03,43 a situation where we don't get any public input Intel it's on 764 01:08:03,43 --> 01:08:08,72 a council agenda and you know. So it would be better if you think there are people 765 01:08:08,73 --> 01:08:13,43 out there that have concerns about this that we try to get people encouraged to 766 01:08:13,45 --> 01:08:16,100 come in and participate so that we make sure we hit the items that are important to 767 01:08:17,00 --> 01:08:23,100 the community so anybody out there listening. If you check this out on You Tube. 768 01:08:33,99 --> 01:08:40,01 So I think unless there is out there I mean I'm hearing that the. Limitations in 769 01:08:40,02 --> 01:08:43,61 the central business district just to not include it either as a permitted or 770 01:08:43,62 --> 01:08:49,22 a special use is what I'm hearing. Will define it and come up with some things I've 771 01:08:49,23 --> 01:08:55,86 got some notes about some some information you'd like to see. Whether Sycamore 772 01:08:55,87 --> 01:09:01,45 Rochelle or Mabel park or other local communities are implementing. Any 773 01:09:01,46 --> 01:09:05,50 restrictions in the area and then we'll also take 774 01:09:05,51 --> 01:09:12,04 a look at some of the restriction languages and what. What nonconforming uses that 775 01:09:12,05 --> 01:09:16,04 might create if we implement those and then we'll we'll come back with 776 01:09:16,05 --> 01:09:17,18 a proposal in terms of 777 01:09:17,19 --> 01:09:22,94 a separation whether it's by building or distance and let you react to that let the 778 01:09:22,95 --> 01:09:26,85 public react to that and see if we're hitting the mark and we can adjust you know 779 01:09:26,86 --> 01:09:27,98 it's will come to you as 780 01:09:27,99 --> 01:09:33,38 a draft and if we get you know analysis or significant comments from the public 781 01:09:33,39 --> 01:09:35,85 that we need to do more research or just 782 01:09:35,86 --> 01:09:39,66 a number based on some testimony that's provided we can always do that. 783 01:09:50,05 --> 01:09:55,81 OK thank you for the opportunity to have this discussion tonight I appreciate it 784 01:09:57,39 --> 01:09:58,57 a lot of information is 785 01:09:58,58 --> 01:10:05,34 a lot of interest.
